What makes a cannonball follow a parabola follows from the same laws of physics that keep the Moon in orbit. Newton’s thought experiment is going to the heart of Unit N’s subtitle: “The Laws of Physics are Universal,” and Newton was the first to go down that path with his Universal Theory of Gravitation applied to all the objects in the Solar System.
